THERE CERTAINLY are some wise men
among the New York labor party. Their
advocacy of an income tax was alluded TO
in this column yesterday, and now it is
stated that they will adopta resolution to
the following effect:
RESOLVED, That we repudiate the scheme
ola perpetual nobility of otlicoholders TO be
selected according to the present civil ser
vice rules from the highly educated sons of
nabobs, and that we belisve the genius of
our institutions dictates rotation in office
from among those sufficiently qualified. and
that the civil service methods of England,
designed 20 provide for the poor sons of the
nobility, are unsuited to this nation, and
the civil service reform we believe in, and
the only one of practical utility, is to elect
only such persons 10 the superior offices as
will not appoint improper persons to Office"
Such resolution as this should be adopt
ed by all democratic conventions.
